Hi mike, if the fair value of Subsidiary`s inventory were greater than its book value @ acquisition, i know the difference is included in NA of S@DOA while calculating g/will.
what are the relevant accounting entries if the inventory is not sold during the year? and 2) if it is sold in the year? thanks in advance.February 7, 2016 at 5:10 pm #299622No accounting affect if it is sold before the year end – cost of sales will include the fair value adjustment of the inventory
If it’s not sold by the year end, the inventory still held by the subsidiary that was under-valued as at the date of acquisition will be valued at its fair value at the year end
Most unlikely to happen both in the exam and in real life
